Inglot Haul

I went to Inglot store in Johore Bahru maybe two weeks ago. Inglot just recently opened a store at City Square. It is actually pretty easy to get to City Square Mall. I live in the East so I had to take a bus, train and then bus again just to get to JB. I then had to walk abit to get to the mall.

I only bought four items and got the under makeup base little pack for free. I also got a free makeup bag which I gave to my cousin because we combined our purchases and hit RM300. 

This is a gel eyeliner in grey or #78. I love the texture and it glides on so smoothly. It is very "wet" compared to M.A.C or Bobbi Brown. I read reviews that when you put it on you have to be quick and careful because it dries up so fast. Not for me because within a few seconds after I put it on I had smudges all over my eyes. Not cool. So I had to do an awkward position with my eyes while letting it dry. 

This is the same gel eyeliner but in turquoise or #87. I love using this on my lower lash line. These gel eyeliners are by far the best purchase from Inglot and I'm planning to collect them all in different colours. 

This pigment I got in metallic grey or #49 is awesome. The pigment in the jar is full to the brim, it's worth the money. I want to collect pigments now! Ahhh. The colour is so pretty.  

Lastly, I got myself a silver eyeliner to put on my bottom lash line. I am currently obsessed lining my bottom lash line if you could tell. It's a lot faster to dress up my eyes in the mornings. Heheh. 

Swatches will be posted soon. 

Overall, I was quite pleased with my first purchase. My main intention was to get a 10 colour eyeshadow palette but was a bit disappointed with some of the pigmentation and too overwhelmed with the choice of colours, I just could not decide. Second trip, maybe once I've done enough research on which colors to get. The one thing I might never ever get from Inglot - lipsticks. Arghhh lipsticks are my weakness but I just hate the scent of Inglot's lipsticks. They remind me of cupcakes dolls I used to play when I was younger. Other than that, I love. I want to collect their gel eyeliners and pigments. I want to try their concealer, I read they are good. I want to own a palette. With square eyeshadows. I'm crazy I know. I wish there's one here in Singapore just so I don't have to travel all the way to JB.  

Have you tried Inglot?

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter

Finally, it's here. I've seen reviews on Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters and am dying to own some. 

I find the covers sexy, reminding me of lace-up corsets. The covers match the lip colors so it's easy to distinguish.

The top of the lipsticks are see through which I find slightly cheap looking even though it might help me distinguish the colors when I store them upright. 

L-R: Macaroon,  Brown Sugar

They have cute names and do give nice colors. Some are more sheer while others can be more pigmented. The only thing I hate is how difficult it is to open the cap. The base is too narrow for my thumb to slide the cap up. So what I do is open it upside down. Also, there are limited colors here. I hope they would eventually have all colors here. 

Benefit Haul

My package arrived a few weeks ago.

I want to tell you all about it.

What's in my package?

3 concealers in 02 - Medium

3 cream eyeshadows in skinny jeans, birthday suit and tattle tale

2 of "take a picture...it lasts longer..." body balm

I love their boi-ing concealer, I have been using it for years. It is more costly to get here in Singapore. $40 each! I'd rather do a spree with friends and get them online since there is free international shipping for order above USD125. 

I've been meaning to try out their cream eyeshadows. I got r.s.v.p in a mini jar a long time ago. I thought it was quite nice. Slightly drying and clumpy now I realise after playing around with my new colors. The trick is not to pile it on and it will be fine. Cream eyeshadows work great for oily skin. It grasps the color better.  

My friend Anna and I have been wanting the body balm for the longest time. Finally I got us one each! It does not glisten like burt's bees' body lotion with royal jelly, but it gives just enough sheen. We are so gonna bring our tins to our little trip this April!

Skindinavia Haul

My box has arrived!! I ordered Skindinavia products on 10th January 2011. It took almost three weeks since it has to be shipped internationally. 

If you have not heard, www.skindinavia.com sells a range of makeup setting or finishing sprays for different skin types. They are available in different three different sizes so if you are interested you can purchase the smallest one, to try out. They have coupon codes which include free shipping on United States and international orders. I'm not sure if the coupon codes are fixed. Please check them out first before purchasing. The coupon codes can be used with a minimum purchase order. If you think it is too much but still want to try them out, you might want to pool your order with friends to enjoy this deal.  

I don't have anyone to pool my order with, since my friends are not as adventurous as me. Since I've heard and read good reviews on them online, I don't mind trying different types. 

I ended up getting the Professional Makeup Artist Kit which includes 1 8oz No More Shine Makeup Finish, 1 8oz Original Makeup Finishing Spray, 1 8oz 10 Years Younger Makeup Finish. I also bought 1 2oz Original Makeup Finishing Spray just to make up the minimum order. The smaller bottle is also good for me when I travel.  

I will do a review once I've tried them enough. Do come back and check it out.
